Directions

Preheat outdoor grill or oven to 375 degrees.
Add the shrimp and veggies to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and seasonings. Toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes, up to all day (refrigerated) to let the flavors develop.
Skewer shrimp and veggies individually, or pour into a grill basket.
Cook for 20-25 minutes, using a spatula to turn the pieces at least once during cooking. Cook until shrimp is opaque and fully cooked and vegetables are crisp-tender.
Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh grated Parmesan cheese for a garnish
